Like Florida really needs this

Scripps Howard: For years, Florida news outlets were avid consumers of alarming stories about bad weather afflicting the Northeast and Midwest. Nothing brightened a Sunshine State front page like a vivid account, preferably with heavy emphasis on the verb "paralyze," of a blizzard or ice storm in New York, Boston or Chicago.
Now Florida has become a net producer of copy about natural disasters, running heavily, but not exclusively, to hurricanes for publications located in less exciting climes. We have the Associated Press to thank for enlivening the dreary Northern winter with an account of yet another affliction -- killer bees.
The ill-tempered, vicious bees that attack in angry swarms have set up hive-keeping across the state, attacking utility workers and actually killing two dogs and a horse.
Warning
So Floridians are being warned to be careful using the lawn mower, opening the barbecue grill, rattling the door of the garden shed or pretty much doing anything outside because the bees, cautions the AP, are a threat to "basically anyone who ventures outdoors."
Meanwhile, up north it's been an unusually mild winter.
